The entrepreneurial idea that I have decided to come up with, is an intercom system that would send a call to your cellphone when someone is at your door. For example, let's say that you're in the bathroom, or you're not home, but are expecting a package of some sort. As soon as the person or delivery man rings your intercom, you immediately receive a phone call and are able to hold the conversation through there. Also, when you're in the bathroom, you can tell them that you will be right there without having to rush. In today's day and age, it is safe to say that almost everyone carries their cellphone with them everywhere they go. Of course, this idea is still very premature, and I hope to further develop it within the upcoming weeks, but it ideally seems as a useful device that would help many people.
This idea definitely coincides with what we spoke about in lecture last week. Last week's lecture had to deal with the rise of social networking sites and how they affect our every day lives. Also, how companies are starting to promote themselves on these sites as well, since every one is constantly updating their statuses and every one is constantly checking other people's statuses. This goes hand in hand with the intercom system because, basically, technology has taken a huge part in people's lives. With this being said, just merely 20 years ago, cell phones were an extremely rare device, and in such a short time, almost every person owns a cell phone. The fact of the matter is that with technology changing almost instantaneously, there will always be updates and improvements that will make each program, device, application that much better. The audio intercom is premature, but with constant updates, I definitely see this idea positively affecting people's lives.
